AC1750 r6700 limit speed
Hello everyone, I install my new ac1750 r6700 v3 router, and I found it limits my internet speed. I am supposed to have 200mbps of internet speed but I get around 93 mbps... does somebody knows how to fix this?
P.S
Firmware version is 1.0.4.106_10.0.80
Thank you in advance!

It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.Along with what michaelkenward said, also check your ethenet cable. 93mbps could mean your connection is only a 10/100mbps connection and not gigabit. So check the devices (modem and test devices) and the cable. Replace the cable with a cat6 cable if all devices are gigabit.

That can complicate troubleshooting.Yes, wifi, the modem I got from spectrum it is only a modem not both modem and a router, it is Hitron EN2251. I replaced my ax3000 with this router because I don't have any supported wifi 6 devices and the speed internet is not even close to be a wifi 6 speed. with ax3000 I would get every time even more than 200mbps, usually I get 230 mbps, even with previous routers, so I am confused that this router which from the reviews I read suppose to be very reliable gives me such results. I reset the router and connected it again to the router, and after couple of tries I was able to get the regular 230mbps, I tested it again this morning abd again, I got 230 mbps. but when I check it now I barely get 160 mbps. I don't know if it is because I connected to the wifi my old tv that only supports 2.4 ghz that slows down the speed to all the other devices that are using 5ghz (the tv is currently turned off.
